Description
The evening light glistened on these perfectly beautiful yellow hibiscus, as large as plates, at the Hilo Grand Naniloa Hotel on the Big Island of Hawaii.
The striking and beautiful Hawaiian native yellow hibiscus, (Hibiscus brackenridgei,) known as the pua aloalo (also called ma`o-hau-hele) in the Hawaiian language, is the Hawaii state flower.
Yellow hibiscus (Hibiscus brackenridgei) is a flowering shrub that grows on all the Hawaiian islands except Ni'ihau and Kaho'olawe. All three subspecies of the yellow hibiscus are listed as endangered species. Even in Hawaii, the plant is rare.
Hawaii's state flower originated in Asia and the Pacific islands. Interestingly, it is also the national flower of Malaysia. This species is a true tropical hibiscus belonging to the Malvaceae, or mallow family. It is believed that there were originally only five species of hibiscus native to Hawaii. Later other varieties were imported and growers began to develop hybrids to produce the kaleidoscope of colors and sizes found today.

The beautiful Hibiscus in any color is photogenic in any light. It also lends itself to gorgeous macros. This photograph in evening light, sets a wonderful mood.
